Fishing Forecast: Now water fluctuations have returned to Lees Ferry we should see fishing pick up. We suggest fishing the riffles during the morning rise. The fish should swarm into the shallow water looking for stranded scuds and annelids. Fish San Juan Worms and hairs back scuds to imitate these creatures. There is still a healthy population of midges so try fishing a dry dropper with a stimulator and a zebra midge. The daily releases from the dam should start at 5,250 cfs and peak at 10,250 cfs.
